It's Casual Friday
 
On today's program:
 
Conservative pundits are failing to keep it together as the Trump administration's support continues to crater to record lows. One example is Scott Jennings live on CNN swearing Meidas Touch's wunderkind, Adam Mockler.
 
Jeet Heer, national affairs correspondent at The Nation joins the program to recap the week's biggest stories. Topics include: The War in Iran, Trump's fixation on his own legacy, the buried DNC autopsy and more. For more from Jeet, check out his podcast "In the Time of Monsters".
 
Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) joins the show to discuss the CPC's new Affordability Agenda.
 
In the Fun Half:
 
Pete Hegseth appears before congress as a part of the military's budget request hearings, and it does not go well for him. Hegseth implies the soldiers that survived the drone attack that killed 6 servicemembers were lying when they said that they had almost no support. Also at the hearing, Rep. Jason Crow exposes Hegseth recommissioning his personal attorney and now top adviser at the Pentagon Tim Parlatore, who also represents clients that are in line for promotion by Hegseth so that he could sidestep any venting process.
 
Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) goes on Fox to lie Kamala-style about how great the economy is. "You can just feel how good things are".
 
Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) takes a different approach to manipulating people around the economy. Rick says that the higher prices at the pump are worth it because now we are safer and can live in freedom.
 
Tim Pool's guest floats the idea that Ben Shapiro is running ads on Tucker Carlson's channel to capture his audience, but Tim shuts it down, saying it would be stupid and bad business—only to admit moments later that he's done the same thing to The Majority Report's channel.
 

All that and more.
